After the suspect in a pair of Copenhagen shootings was killed in a gunfight, two people have been arrested for allegedly helping him, the AP reports. They've been blamed for sheltering the suspect and disposing of a weapon, says a defense attorney for Michael Juul Eriksen, one of those arrested. Danish news has named the suspect as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, the New York Times reports, but officials haven't confirmed his identity. Like the attackers in Paris, he seems to have made a sudden move from "street crime" to Islamic extremism, the Times notes. Denmark's security head, however, hasn't seen a direct link between the Danish suspect and those in Paris.

After the publication of cartoons featuring the Prophet Muhammad in 2005, many in Denmark were expecting a terrorist attack. "Unfortunately, it is difficult to claim surprise at the attacks in Copenhagen," a Danish newspaper said, calling such attacks "not a question of if, but when," the Times reports. "This is not a war between Islam and the West," noted Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. She described the attacks as "a fight for freedom against a dark ideology." Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, is calling for Jews to return to Israel in the wake of the attacks.

"In 1786, Thomas Jefferson wrote to William Carmichael concerning a demand for extortion payments from Tripoli, : “Mr. Adams and I had conferences with a Tripoline ambassador, named Abdrahaman. He asks for thirty thousand guineas for a peace with his court.” When Jefferson asked the Muslim ambassador what the new country of America had done to offend them, he reported to John Jay, March 28, 1786: “The Ambassador answered us that it was … written in their Qur’an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged Islam’s authority were sinners, that it was their … duty to make war upon them … and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners.” Jefferson purchased a Qur’an to understand the enemy. Nearly 20 percent of the U.S. federal budget was used to make extortion tribute payments to the Muslim pirates, yet they still continued their piracy. When Jefferson became president, he finally sent in the U.S. Navy and Marines to stop Morocco’s Barbary pirates. In his First Annual Message, Dec. 8, 1801, Thomas Jefferson stated: “Tripoli … of the Barbary States, had come forward with demands unfounded either in right or in compact, and had permitted itself to (announce) war on our failure to comply before a given day. The style of the demand admitted but one answer. I sent a small squadron of frigates into the Mediterranean, with assurances to that power of our sincere desire to remain in peace, but with orders to protect our commerce against the threatened attack. ” On Dec. 29, 1803, the new 36-gun USS Philadelphia ran aground on Morocco’s shallow coast, and Muslim pirates captured and imprisoned Captain William Bainbridge and his 307 man crew for 18 months. To prevent the ship from being used by the Muslim Barbary pirates, Lieut. Stephen Decatur, on Feb. 16, 1804, sailed his ship Intrepid into Tripoli’s pirate harbor. Decatur set fire to the captured U.S. frigate Philadelphia and escaped amidst fierce enemy fire. British Admiral Horatio Nelson called it the “most bold and daring act of the age.” The Navy and Marines later captured Tripoli and forced the Pasha to make peace on U.S. terms." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --nothing has changed.
